My research interests are primarily focused on land cover analysis and terrain modeling using Remote Sensing. I am also interested in GIS modeling methods and applications specifically, those dealing with these topics. I am currently involved in projects that deal with Hurricane Katrina recovery, GIS Modeling for conservation, and lidar / hyper-spectral data fusion for land cover classification in shoreline areas.

My recent research has had me working for four months in Costa Rica, the coastal zones of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, east central Africa, Nicaragua, and Panama. I collaborate with The Nature Conservancy, and receive funding from NOAA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
